Choosing the Right Air Purifier for Your Bedroom

Coverage

When choosing an air purifier, it’s important to select one with the right coverage for your bedroom size. For larger bedrooms, you’ll need a unit that can handle more square footage. For example, the Austin Air Healthmate covers up to 1,500 square feet, making it ideal for larger spaces or open-concept rooms. For medium-sized bedrooms, consider air purifiers like the Alen BreatheSmart 45i, which cleans up to 800 square feet. For smaller rooms, units like the RabbitAir BioGS 2.0 (covers up to 625 square feet) or Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS (covers up to 325 square feet) will be a great fit. Make sure the purifier you choose matches the size of your room for optimal air quality.

Concern Type

The right bedroom air purifier for you will depend on your air quality concern. Do you suffer from allergies, or have pets? Consider a unit with a HEPA filter. HEPA air purifiers are best for reducing allergens, and help asthma sufferers breathe easier. They can reduce up to 99% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. If your concern is odors from cooking or cleaning supplies, choose an air purifier with activated carbon that can absorb chemicals and odors in the air.

Noise Level

Having a noisy air purifier is less than ideal for a bedroom. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll be happy to know that some air purifiers are built with noise in mind.

Improve Sleep and Air Quality with a Bedroom Air Purifier

According to the American Psychological Association, 60% of adults claim to have sleep problems a few nights a week or more. Air quality is one of the many factors that can affect how well you sleep at night. Indoor air quality can often be worse than outdoor air, and your bedroom is no exception. Excess moisture trapped near shoes, books, or other common bedroom items can create mold, dust accumulation, and stuffy air from a lack of air circulation.

A recent study revealed that individuals who live in areas with high levels of air pollution are 60% more likely to sleep poorly, compared to those living with cleaner air. Indoor air pollution is caused by many factors, ranging from everyday cleaning products and construction remnants, to allergies and pet dander. If your home’s indoor air quality is poor, your sleep is likely to be less restful. This can lead to more severe issues, such as chronic sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation decreases your ability to concentrate, weakens your immune system, and worsens your memory.

The best way to improve your bedroom’s air quality and the quality of your sleep is to invest in an air purifier built to address each of your concerns. Get an air purifier for each of your bedrooms, and rest easy knowing you’re breathing the cleanest air possible.
